Answer:

The width of the patio is 11.29 feet while the length of the patio is 13.29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the area of the patio can be calculated by multiplying the length by the breadth of the patio

Thus we have ;

(x + 7)(x + 9) = 150

x^2 + 7x + 9x + 63 = 150

x^2 + 16x + 63 = 150

x^2 + 16x + 63 -150 = 0

x^2 + 16x -87 = 0

we can use the quadratic formula to solve this completely

x = {-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)}/2a

where a = 1, b = 16 and c = -87

Plugging the values we have

x = {-16 ± √(16^2 - 4(1)(-87)}/2

x = {-16 ± √(256+ 348)}/2

x = {-16 ± √(604}/2

x = (-16 + 24.58)/2 or (-16-24.58)/2

x = 4.29 or -20.29

Choosing x = -20.29 will make our dimensions negative, so we ignore it and make do with the positive value only

Thus our dimensions are 4.29 + 7 and 4.29 + 9

This is equal to 11.29 feet and 13.29 feet respectively

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Normal Distribution

Step-by-step explanation: A normal distribution will generally have a bell shape. It is also called a bell curve, due to its bell shape.

It is also called Gaussian distribution. The point near the peak is where most of the observations cluster, while the values further away from the mean will be distributed equally in both directions on the curve.
